Not so bad considering the nature of the test IMHO.  I find it pretty 
impressive that it's even at all possible to answer these questions at a 
better than pure-chance rate.

This test in relation to the uncanny valley also reminds me of when I 
spent a while trying to make some facial animations.  I spent so long 
staring as slightly-off animations deep in the uncanny valley that I 
stopped being able to see what exactly was wrong with them.  Basically 
I'd spent so long looking at these super-creepy looking animations that 
they started to look "natural" in some sense.  This made debugging even 
more of a painful process than it would have been otherwise.  Suffice to 
say, I haven't tried to to program anything else involving human faces 
since then.
